- Today Jack Brookes from Bam Nuttall kindly shows us what work they're undertaking at Dawlish railway station and the progress that has been made with the brook diversion.
They have made great progress since our last tour and are preparing to replace the railway station platforms.

I have fond memories of holidays in Dawlish sitting on the beach watching the trains go by, and has you walked under the bridge to the right there was a wooden hut selling drinks, snacks and everything you needed for the beach. I remember been bought a Bar Six. Happy memories. The sea wall looks very different now. The work that is been done to strengthen the sea front is a great feat of engineering, I just wish it could have been made to look more in keeping with the old wall.
Your reporting is excellent! If only other councils and utilities would do such a service, they might get much more sympathy. Our local council never publishes plans larger than a postage stamp and just send out messages of how its 'very complicated' but 'will improve the situation' and its delayed again. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I always look forward to these Progress videos.
Thank you. It's been a while.
@@CoastCams247 Too long.😁
Lot of work. Must take a steady mind to follow all those plans drawn up and execute them at the right time and with the right people to ensure it all comes off.
Great videos and very informative. It's great that Bam nutall have allowed beach cams in on the work.
I visited the first phase last year when I was on holiday and was impressed with all the work. Can't wait to see it all finished
That was nicely done. Kudos to Bam Nuttall for not trying to put this into a 8 min bulletin.
Your ground level views, then afterwards the drone aerial views work brilliantly to show the overall scope to succinctly show what you have been explaining. Good work and well done to all involved.
Jack has a very good grasp of all the schedule. Never struggled or missed a beat. I hope they are paying you well Jack!
Looking strong, and when finished should provide a nice clean waterway.👍
Wow visited Dawlish before work started, everyone involved has done an amazing job.🤛🤛 Definitely coming back to see the works finished. A***
Thanks Jack and Neall for the tour of the work. It was very interesting. Perhaps someday I will visit from the other side of the pond.... Norm
Simply incredible how far the work has gone. At the beginning, I thought the scope was beyond unattainable and into wishful thinking. But with the end now in sight, I retract that thought. Can't wait to see it finished.
Well done! Great informative video. Just hope it looks nice when finished!
i am so looking forward for april when the family and i have the easter break at dawlish warren and cant wait to walk along the sea wall.
great video and great update so much to do still but getting there loving the new look.

Thank you for this update nice too see lt close up 👍
Great work and will be valued more in the future as sea levels and weather patterns keep changing...
Another great video update - thank you.
Yet another super update vid. Look forward to seeing the real thing in April. If your around on a date to be advised, an appreciation beer is on me at the Marine Tavern.
Very informative, thank you..
Thanks for the update 👍🏻 Looks really good 😊
Very interesting looking forward to the next ☝️
So many Happy memories of Dawlish and the trains.
What a good job of making one of the most scenic bits of railway in the UK absolutely fugly. 👏 👏 👏
good job.
Really informative video as always, must get down there for a real visit.
I think the next video might have to be joining Jack on one of the night time possessions?
I suspect they wouldn’t for safety reasons, the previous ones have been when there’s less work happening. It would be fascinating though
They wanna be ready for the influx of people now. People will know its safe. I went there with my parents when i was a kid,loved it.
Brilliant, been following your vids, excellent coverage well narrated
A great insight of the ongoing work I regularly look at the webcams to see progress.
I will be visiting Dorset in June for a week actually staying in Exmouth and am looking forward to visiting Dawlish.
I would like to do the walk alongside the rail track from Dawlish Warren.
Thanks to you and Bam Nuttall for another great video.
Are they going to paint the bridge. Could you do an update on the new rock fall protection being built.
Well done guy's for recreating the set for World War Z in Dawlish, what an abomination.
that ending music sounds like the music of "the expanse"...
seems like a hint to me...
Fantastic piece of civil engineering. What is the total cost?
Do you know what date in Feb coastguards bridge will open? Thanks!
👍
It would be really nice if you could get two brand new Dawlish rail cams positioned at the end of each platform additional to the elevated ones . Will they allow a railcam to be attached to the CCTV camera? - that way you can kill 2 birds with one stone for the worldwide viewing public and very much like they do in America
In China, they would have completed the entire job in one month at half the cost
Slavery has it's advantages.
In China they don’t pay their workers much, and they’re a lot more lax on safety. But under communism you do what they tell you or you disappear
... and they'd probably end up having to do it again in a few years time.
And they would have built an airport next to it in 2 weeks and still within budget

How much have the recent storms hampered your work?
They leave site at high tide and are back after.
So..it doesn't sound like the rusting containers are going to be removed at all??😒
And BINGO,! The first whinging comment on this one!
What part of ‘WORK IN PROGRESS’ don’t you get?!?
Network Rail (NR) used containers to block the sea 8 years ago when a section of the wall got breached and seriously damaged the railway. Those containers were removed when the work was completed.
The same will happen with this - there is no way the contractor or NR would expose themselves to the legal liability of leaving containers on the beach, not to mention the media coverage.
The removal of the containers are unlikely to be mentioned in these videos, anymore than the video talk about the removal of the equipment being used - they are simply things that will happen.
@@mattjones366 That sounds reassuring Matt...because no one from Network Rail directly puts out an answer.
@@sgthree Look up the word whinging before you use it again. What's wrong with posing a question based on observation, about something one is unsure about?
Interesting video ..just a shame all that history being covered up
!
It may be being covered up, but there is so much documented and photographed over the decades that the information is available to replicate it all in a virtual scenario.
@@roboftherock True
The new sea wall is the wrong shape to 'divert' crashing waves. It needs to be concave.
there are the recurve units at the top which do exactly that. You clearly seem to think you know better than the world's most experienced marine and tidal engineers.
This is only been done cause new trains can't handle a bit of sea water.... Wasn't that long ago sea wall was completely rebuilt.. Older trains didn't ever have an issue with rough sea's there..
Absolute Rubbish! Most of the wall is about 180 years old, and has been needing constant 'patching' repairs pretty much every year in recent decades! Certainly in my time knowing and living very close to the wall which goes back over 40 years and doing school cross country runs along there (as well as walking the dog and cycling along it as a child as the road between Teignmouth and Dawlish is very hilly!)
It is nothing to do with the new trains. If it were, every inch of the wall would be being replaced, which it is not!
You clearly have no real knowledge of the area.
